I was able to see Mom do her Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy.
She did well. The PT assisted Mom with standing up for several seconds at a time. It hurts, but her muscles will respond in time.
During speech therapy, she answered several questions correctly. A few times she got stuck on some answers.
Most of the day she was in the wheelchair. This was a great change of pace. Mom has been in a hospital bed for the majority of the past 6 weeks.
She was able to help me open the wrapper to a piece of chocolate I brought her. Mom also raised her hand to her mouth and took several small bites by herself.
Tomorrow is her day of rest, no therapy scheduled on Sunday.
There is a small chance I will be able to bring one of Mom's dogs to see her in the hospital. I am still waiting to hear back from TIRR. One of her nurses suggested this and we have seen several pets in the hospital.
Will keep you posted.

ReplyDeleteCould you please tell Mona that I miss her and I miss our conversations. She has always been there for me when I needed someone. She is in our thoughts and prayers every day and I can't wait for the day I hear her voice again.
Love,
Ginny
